"For over a century, the Coca-Cola Contour Glass Bottle has been an icon of refreshment and connection. This fall, we’ve introduced a new 12-oz single-serve glass bottle in select US markets, offering consumers a classic and timeless way to enjoy their Coca-Cola Original Taste made with US cane sugar", a spokesperson for the company confirmed on Tuesday.
"This launch reflects our ongoing commitment to giving people more ways to enjoy the beverages they love”.
Trump made his first public push for the change in July, posting on Truth Social that Coca-Cola had agreed to use real cane sugar in their flagship product in the US, which has been sweetened with high fructose corn syrup since the 1980s. Coke didn't immediately confirm the change at the time, but promised new offerings.
Coca-Cola Chairperson and CEO James Quincey then confirmed that the soda company will expand their product range “to reflect consumer interest in differentiated experiences”.
“We appreciate the president’s enthusiasm for our Coca-Cola brand”, Quincey said in a conference call with investors Tuesday. “We are definitely looking to use the whole tool kit of available sweetening options".
Quincey noted that Coke uses cane sugar in some other US drinks, like their Simply brand lemonade and Honest Tea. Coca-Cola have also sold Mexican Coke, which is made with cane sugar, in the US since 2005.
